=Mini-Mission 1: Advocating and Implementing Project Based Learning=
 * Reflect on what you have learned about the structure, components, and rationale for project based learning and complete this mission:**

1. Provide a rational for why PBL will be more successful methodology than conventional means of lecture and large class discussion.


 * Students become more engaged and take ownership of their learning. PBL requires higher-level learning and collaboration skills. Students learn or create something new. Students will use various forms of communication. **

2.Provide possible PBL projects for each of the subjects taught: math, social studies, science and Antiquan language arts.


 * __Math__ - Quadratic Function Web Quest - students learn how to solve quadratic functions by three different methods to achieve the goal of programming a bouncing ball or a water fountain **
 * __English__ - webpage of the future while studying Fahrenheit 451 **
 * __Science__ - create a wikispace detailing how you would respond to a human-caused natural disaster, possible preventions, budget, plans for possible clean-up, etc. **
 * __Social Studies__ - go back in time (pick a time period), decide how you would change something during that time period and how that would affect the future **

3. Provide either a short jingle to help the Antiquans remember project based learning or an illustration that would help the Antiquans remember project based learning.


 * Ask not what you can do for project based learning - ask what project based learning can do for you **
